Write a fan letter.
Dear Mrs. Rowling,
I'm sure you've been told this many, many times before and maybe can't stand seeing this any more. But as this is a fan letter, I'll write it anyway: I love your Harry Potter books. I've read all of them many times and they're still enthralling.
I've never written a fan letter before. Mainly because I think they're stupid. You can see how many people love your stories by looking at the number of books you sold. And there are thousands of people who like writing fan letters and you can't possibly read them all. Besides, I don't know what to write more than what I did in the first few lines. I'm writing this letter because our English teacher gave us the assignment to write a fan letter. That doesn't mean I don't like writing to you That doesn't mean I don't
My friend Wes says, I should try my best anyway. He says maybe I should pick one small scene and write what I like about it. Then my letter might be a little different from all the others you get.
That seems like a good idea.
There's this scene in The Philosopher's Stone where Harry looks into the Mirror of Erised and sees his parents and other relatives smiling and waving at him.
The first time I read the book, that was just a scene and I didn't think much of it. I was only 9 then and didn't really get the way Harry was feeling. Back then, the book was about a boy who finds out he's a wizard and can do magic for real and goes on adventures. That's great. I always liked adventure stories. And this was a good one.
Two years ago, my mum died and I had to go stay with my grandparents. I think what I was feeling then was a little like Harry must have been feeling before he met Hagrid for the first time. Grandmother treated me like I was some kind of useless servant or something. Everything was about her and how her baby was gone. I didn't matter. Kinda like the Dursleys teated Harry in the beginning.
So I can imagine how Harry felt when he looked into the Mirror of Erised and saw his family.
Now that scene is very important to me and I've read it many times.
Harry's story is not only an adventure story anymore. It's also about a boy who's parents died and who was raised by relatives that don't like him for no reason and show it. But fate gives him a way out and he goes and defends the memory of his parents as best as he can.
I guess that's part of what makes your books so good. That everyone can see a bit of their life in them. And a bit of what they'd like to be.
So thank you for writing these great books. I can't wait to read the last one. I'll definitely get it on release day.
Yours sincerely,
